Here is a recipe for a soft flavorful cookie I love to make

 

Banana Oatmeal Cookies

 

Cookies without wheat, sugar, oil, eggs, dairy, soy, or salt!! You'll need a

good, strong blender or a food processor to blend the oats into a fine flour;

otherwise, purchase oat flour at the health food store.

 

makes about 24 cookies

 

2 cups GF oats

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon or substitute another spice or grated orange peel

4 medium overripe bananas

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup chopped dates (or ¼ chocolate or carob chips, or raisins, or …)

 

[i love to add grated orange rind and raisins]

 

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with

nonstick spray.

 

Use a good blender to blend the oats into fine flour. Pour the oat flour into a

mixing bowl and add the baking soda and cinnamon.

 

Put the peeled, overripe bananas into the blender and blend until completely

smooth. Add to the oat mixture along with the sunflower seeds and dates, and mix

until well combined.

 

Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop to place spoonfuls of the cookie dough on the baking

sheet (flatten slightly, they do not spread). [one ounce = two tablespoons]

 

Bake for 12 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack and store in an airtight

container in the refrigerator. They freeze well too.
